Catalina PBY-5a Flying Boat Air-To-Air

This is currently the only airworthy Catalina in New Zealand, and is maintained by the New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society. See: During the Second World War, the RNZAF operated a total of 56 Catalina flying boats. None of these aircraft were of the amphibious type as is ZK-PBY, but this Canadian built example is painted to represent one of the flying boats operated in the Pacific Theatre. -- Copyright © 2011 Historical Aviation Film Unit #Consolidated #PBY #Catalina
